Zechariah 6:1-8

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 And again lifting up my eyes I saw four war-carriages coming out from between the two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.

2 In the first war-carriage were red horses; and in the second, black horses;

3 And in the third, white horses; and in the fourth, horses of mixed colour.

4 And I made answer and said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these, my lord?

5 And the angel, answering, said to me, These go out to the four winds of heaven from their place before the Lord of all the earth.

6 The carriage in which are the black horses goes in the direction of the north country; the white go to the west; and those of mixed colour go in the direction of the south country.

7 And the red ones go to the east; and they made request that they might go up and down through the earth: and he said, Go up and down through the earth. So they went up and down through the earth.

8 Then crying out to me, he said, See, those who are going to the north country have given rest to the spirit of the Lord in the north country.

New International Version NIV

1 I looked up again, and there before me were four chariots coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze.

2 The first chariot had red horses, the second black,

3 the third white, and the fourth dappled—all of them powerful.

4 I asked the angel who was speaking to me, “What are these, my lord?”

5 The angel answered me, “These are the four spirits of heaven, going out from standing in the presence of the Lord of the whole world.

6 The one with the black horses is going toward the north country, the one with the white horses toward the west, and the one with the dappled horses toward the south.”

7 When the powerful horses went out, they were straining to go throughout the earth. And he said, “Go throughout the earth!” So they went throughout the earth.

8 Then he called to me, “Look, those going toward the north country have given my Spirit rest in the land of the north.”
